Chicago friends,
We’re visiting Sept. 1 - Sept. 10
My phone is a mess, so DM me here or on WhatsApp if you’d like to find a time to meet at one of the old haunts.
The Puppetzilla Puppet Slam is coming up! Let's introduce our performers. Up next - Eli Presser!
Eli Presser is a Los Angeles based puppeteer, director, and educator. His work blends traditional and experimental forms, exploring movement, mechanics, and narrative.
Puppetzilla Puppet Slam - Hope / Hopeless will take place on Sunday, August 31 at 7:00pm (doors open at 6:30pm). As usual, it will be at The Mayflower Club (11110 Victory Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91606)
Join us for a night of puppet acts - some hopeful, some hopeless. Did we mention the AC is going to be on? Link in bio, or get your tickets here:

We’ve got a show coming up at the Outside In Theatre on July 25th, 7:30pm!
This event features short-form puppetry performances in a slam-like setting that are not about polish or perfection—they’re about exploration. This show allows artists to throw caution to the wind, test ideas, take risks, and discover what resonates—live, in front of an audience. Come witness the experiment. Be part of the response. Link in Bio!
